Results Round Up

Cheltenham were finally relegated after drawing 1-1 with Carlisle, with today's results guaranteeing the Bulls last place in the table. Carlisle themselves need to win their final match to survive - and rely on Brighton, Hartlepool, or Northampton to drop points and - in some cases - at hatful of goals. The same can be said of Crewe, whose only real hope of survival is a Brighton defeat next week.

At the top Leicester are joined in the Championship by Peterboro who won 1-0 at Colchester. MK Dons' 1-0 loss at home to Walsall condemns them to the play-offs along with Millwall, 2-1 winners over Leyton Orient, and Leeds who beat Hartlepool 1-0. The final spot will be between Tranmere and Scunthorpe with the Iron holding a game in hand with both sides claiming draws this weekend.

In League Two Chester are all but out. Their only hope for survival is a win next Saturday with Grimsby losing with 20 goals changing hands in the difference column after they could only draw 2-2 at Aldershot. Bournemouth wrote themselves out of the picture with a 2-1 win over the Mariners. At the top Brentford will go up as Champions, with Wycombe to join them with a single point next week, while Exeter and Bury will fight it out for third. Shrewsbury need to rely on others dropping points after a goalless draw with Lincoln leaves them two points short of the play-offs.

In the Championship Southampton are relegated by on-field matters, and will start next season ten points short in League One pending legal action.
